Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Dou Dou Seeks Recognition

"So late already? Why aren’t you staying at home, running over to my place for what?" Shen Siyuan got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water.

"Being at home is so boring, I’ve watched cartoons over and over again. Mom and Dad want to sleep, and no one is there to play with me."

Dou Dou was bouncing around on the bed, not treating herself like a stranger at all.

"Then you could go find your Sister Mei Qi," Shen Siyuan said as he took a sip of water.

"That’s boring too. We can only sit there in a daze, and the streets are so quiet, it’s scary," Dou Dou said.

Shen Siyuan was stunned by what she said and after a long pause, he slowly spoke: "Then perhaps you could go find Sister Duoduo and Sister Xiao Yue to play with."

The most painful thing about being a ghost is actually loneliness, but after the three little ones became her Fan Souls, this problem didn’t seem to have been resolved. They still do not fit into this society and humanity.

Other than at home, they cannot appear in front of others at will, so besides their parents, they hardly make any other friends or communicate with others.

And most other ghosts are contaminated by desires, carrying a certain degree of danger, even without any sanity, and also unable to touch anything. Besides talking to each other and pouring out their troubles, there’s nothing else they could do.

But for a child like Dou Dou, there’s really no need for heart-to-heart talks.

"Yeah, I just wanted to go find Duoduo to play."

"Then why did you run over to me halfway?" Shen Siyuan asked Dou Dou while pondering.

At this point, Dou Dou got excited.

"Because I spotted a thief, brother," Dou Dou said excitedly.

"A thief?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat surprised.

Just then, Xiao Yue came in from outside and silently sat down on the sofa, quietly watching Dou Dou with an onlooking expression. Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Sister Xiao Yue."

Dou Dou was equally happy to see Xiao Yue; it had been a few days since she last saw her.

"You should still tell us about the thief," Shen Siyuan said.

Had he not spoken up, Dou Dou’s thoughts would probably have leaped to who knows where.

Xiao Yue silently nodded; she was also curious about the thief that Dou Dou was talking about.

So Dou Dou started from the beginning.

"I was at home watching Peppa Pig, with Peppa and her mommy and daddy, and George going out for a picnic..."

Shen Siyuan: ...

Yin Xingyue: ...

"You can skip the unimportant things," Shen Siyuan said.

"It’s important because I know they had a picnic with watermelon, cheese, eggs, bananas, grapes, hot dogs, fruit salad, and drinks. Why would I know, right? Because I’ve watched it, and I’ve watched it many times, so I feel it’s really boring and not interesting at all..." Dou Dou said, spreading her hands.

Shen Siyuan and Yin Xingyue wore a look of embarrassment. Is this important?

But since the story had reached this point, they might as well let her continue.

So Dou Dou went on: "Then I went to the door of my mom and dad’s room; they were sleeping in there. I asked if I could go and play with Sister Duoduo, and they said I could. Why didn’t I go in? Because they wouldn’t let me, saying adults need privacy too, and as their baby, I just can’t barge into their room at will. I think they must be secretly eating yummy things inside without letting me find out..."

Shen Siyuan: ...

Xiao Yue seemed to understand a bit about the matter between men and women, and after hearing this, she sat stiffly on the sofa, not daring to move, as if she had made a big mistake.

"Get to the point," Shen Siyuan said a bit impatiently.

"So I came out, flying towards Duoduo’s home when suddenly I spotted a duck next to me..."

"Don’t mention unimportant things. Besides, what kind of duck flies in the air?"

"Why couldn’t it? I saw the duck flying, and it was flying so fast that I couldn’t catch up," Dou Dou replied discontentedly.

"Plus, that duck was so strange. Why could it see me?" Dou Dou added, feeling that this was important.

Shen Siyuan wasn’t surprised and explained, "Some animals with strong spiritual awareness can see ghosts. Like cats and dogs with spirit, they can see you all, but not all of them, of course..."

This is also why many cats and dogs often scream or bark furiously at an empty corner; perhaps the corner is not so empty.

"The duck disappeared, and I was about to leave when I saw a young thief skulking around a cake shop. Curiosity got the better of me, so I stealthily followed him. The thief was amazing, using a wire to fiddle with the lock a couple of times and the lock opened..."

Dou Dou narrated, mimicking the motions with her hands.

Xiao Yue also forgot about her previous emotions, relaxed, and listened attentively to Dou Dou’s story.

"At that time, I was thinking whether I should appear to scare him away, or to find a policeman, or to inform Brother Potato and get the thief caught..."

"But then I saw him eating, like this, like that..."

Dou Dou mimicked Xia Wenbing’s voracious eating.

"I thought he must be very hungry, so hungry, so I decided not to scare him," said Dou Dou.

Shen Siyuan was surprised to hear this; Dou Dou was incredibly kind.

"After he finished eating, he packed many cakes in a bag, walked out the door, then meticulously locked the door again. I followed him, extremely anxious."

"And then I followed him to a messy room where there was a young girl, her name is Xiao Xue. The cakes the young brother stole were for Xiao Xue..."

"There was also an aunt in the room, Xiao Xue’s mother, who said Xiao Xue has no father or stepmother, and the young brother..."

Dou Dou’s words began to get muddled. Because children’s logical thinking is not fully developed, it’s hard for them to express too much all at once, but Dou Dou was already doing quite well.

Still, Shen Siyuan managed to clarify the course of events.

"So, the aunt you mentioned, she has a wish she wants to fulfill?"

Dou Dou nodded excitedly, sitting on the bed, swinging her little feet, looking like she was waiting for praise.

"Where is she now?"

"She’s still in that room, I told her not to go anywhere," Dou Dou said.

"Alright, then I’ll go meet her tomorrow," said Shen Siyuan.

Since it was an opportunity to help others and earn Merit, Shen Siyuan naturally didn’t mind making the trip.

"Go back and let her know to avoid her not being there tomorrow," Shen Siyuan said to Dou Dou.

He then turned to Xiao Yue sitting beside him, "You accompany her."

But Dou Dou sat still on the bed.

"Is there something else?" Shen Siyuan asked, somewhat surprised.

Dou Dou puffed up and said, "You haven’t praised me yet."

"Uh..."

Shen Siyuan was speechless once more.
